LET'S RUIN SOME BIRTHDAYS

BIRTHDAYS, am I right? They're just so... predictable. Every year like clockwork, the same old parties, the same cracks about getting old, the same legal notices advising you the restraining orders issued by your favorite boy band are still in effect...

Bah.

So I say, if you can't beat 'em, make them worse for everyone else.

Like this!

Does it help or hurt that her name is Penny? Asking for a friend. Whose name is Penny.

You know how people love it when you call attention to their seasonal allergies?

Boo to the Ya.

("See, it's funny, because your health is poor and that constant sniffing annoys the rest of us! Did you get that? Oh, you did? Cool. Just wanted to make sure. )

I'll be honest, I don't think Willow needed to know this:

SO I APPROVE.

Now Willow, you can retaliate with THIS:

Bonus: this could be botched "cheapskate" OR it could be calling Kate cheap. Either way, I think we ALL come out winners here.

And finally, for those times when the words "You're a horse's a$$, Dad" just aren't enough:

There's this.

Or is that a donkey butt?

WAIT... no. Could it be? Is that...

Is that an ass's a$$?

YESSSSS. So is it like when you say someone is a "real man's man"? Meaning Dad here is a "real ass's a$$?"

I'm tearing up. It's so beautiful.

Thanks to Brandi D., Maryann S., Anony M., Jeannette M., & Anony T. who think I'm ridiculous for censoring one a$$ but not the other. Yes, yes I am. Now, bottom's up!

P.S. In case your life was missing a set of cat butt magnets, I found you some:

Sunday Sweets Flutters On By

John's favorite animal is the butterfly, so after I made him a rockin' rainbow butterfly wreath I thought I'd look for some sweet cakes, too. In fact, this one's like his new wreath in cake form:

Mmm, rainbow goodness. I love they they're all different sizes and styles.

Vintage illustration style pretties:

And one giant pretty:

Here's a delicious Art Deco vibe:

Look how the gold scroll-work bridges the tiers! So cool.

I'm completely smitten with this flying frames design:

(By Sprinkle Bakes)

COMPLETELY. Such a fun idea!

And this one has a gothic elegance to it:

Those little red hearts add just the right touch.

Some of my favorite colors happening here:

I like how the branches form a frame. So sweet!

Ooh, now here's some advanced cakey architecture:

(By The Cake Studio of Ocean City)

Flower topiary! It *does* have butterflies, but I'll admit I'm mostly loving those white poppies - which probably aren't even poppies, because I'm bad with flower names. Still. SO PRETTY.

Allow me to make up for the less-than-overwhelming number of butterflies on that last one with this:

(By Tortentante)

Butterfly overload! And they're making a heart! Ah!

K, one last rainbow pretty for you:

(By McGreevy Cakes)

They're even flying right off the cake! And look - the rainbow rain has dripped on to the cake stand.
So cute.

Happy Sunday, everyone!

Here's the 84-pc butterfly set I used to make John's wreath, I think you crafters are gonna love them:

(3D Butterfly Wall Magnet Set)

They're double-sided and come with both magnets and stickers. Definitely browse the projects in the reviews, there are so many pretty ideas!
